Which Version of DNS
Submitted by geogriggs on Tue, 01/15/2008 - 03:56.
I am entirely new to Dragon, but have been using ViaVoice and related products for medical dictations for 15 years. I am confused about the different versions of DNS, what each has to offer. I'd like a product as much like ViaVoice as possible with capability of dictations macros (boilerplate text), dictation templates (boilerplate text with user entered fields in the text), the ability to save transcriptions for later editing. I can't seem to find any clear explanation of what the different versions offer, and where things like KnowBrainer, and vocola fit in. Is there a clear explanation of the different products offered, what each does and how they all fit together? I'm not particularly anxious to change to DNS, but it appears that only DNS is Vista compatible and most EHRs will be compatible only with Dragon.
Thanks for your help.

The Professional version of the product will do what you want and more - ViaVoice is very much a dead duck now as IBM ceased development on it some years ago.
George, Did you try
George,
Did you try installing ViaVoice in a Vista operated computer? If so what was the result?
I know that the pundits are saying that ViaVoice is not compatible with Vista, but nobody seems to have physically tried it out, other than the one or two who stated that they could not load it.

Quentin,
I reported on this a long time ago. I spent two days trying to get ViaVoice 10.5 installed in Windows Vista. I tried it in Business, Ultimate, and Home Premium. No go. Failed in all cases to complete the install, and even when I was able to juggle certain things to get it installed it continually crashed. After a lot of work on it, I gave up. It's simply is not Vista compatible and you can take that to the bank because I gave it a fair shot having been part of the 10.5 certification team.

Chuck,
I remembered that you did this. All I was wondering was whether George had tried it.

ViaVoice 10.5 and Vista
Quentin,
No, I don't have Vista running on any of my computers. I'm going to avoid getting Vista as long as possible because a number of programs I use in addition to ViaVoice are not Vista compatible. If I get a chance do try it with ViaVoice I will do so, but Chuck's comment makes it sound very unlikely.
I will probably get a new machine before June 30th as I understand Win XP will still be available through that date.
